Join Our Growing Team
We are a leading regional independent tool hire company with 10 depots across the South of England and Wales. We have doubled our revenue in the past four years - via three acquisitions and two new locations - and face huge changes in the hire market that promise to accelerate this growth further.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised Management Accountant to join our friendly Finance Team. The role reports directly into the Head of Finance, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to develop their career and progress into more senior finance roles in the future.
About the Role
This is a pivotal role within the finance team, taking ownership of day-to-day financial reporting and accounting operations. We are entering an exciting period of growth and finance transformation, and we are looking for someone who wants to play an active role in improving reporting, processes and the way finance supports the wider business. You’ll be working closely with the Head of Finance to ensure month-end runs smoothly, our numbers are accurate and that we are strengthening processes along the way.
The successful candidate will manage the Finance Assistant and support our Credit Controller and Purchase Ledger Clerk, gaining valuable exposure to a variety of finance functions within a busy, growing business.
